    Tips

    April 8, 2025

    Tackling The Lecht south from Cock Bridge (A939) confronts you immediately with its infamous wall: prepare for a brutal initial ramp reaching around 20% right after the bridge, demanding your lowest gears and maximum effort. Experience the shock of this savage start, but uniquely, the climb then undulates – feel brief descents interrupting the ascent before further steep pitches rise towards the Lecht Ski Centre. The challenge shifts from pure gradient to battling the elements on the extremely exposed, high-altitude road (always check snow gate status before riding). Embrace the wild Cairngorms scenery and the unique rhythm of this truly demanding Scottish climb.
